Question:
Shaykh Salih, some people hold that the 'Id sacrifice is exclusively for the deceased.
Answer:
This is an error. The 'Id sacrifice is for the living and for the deceased. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed two rams, one for himself and one for those of his Ummah who did not sacrifice. This includes both the living and the deceased. Yes.
